I recently played Ballyhoo, one of the many games included in the
Lost Treasures of Infocom, Vol. 1.

Slight spoilers follow.


One of the many things to figure out in the game is what frequency to
set the radio to. This is not supposed to be hard, though. Apparently
in the original packaging of the game, there was a radio station ad in
the circus book included.

But (unless I am completely blind), the materials included with LTOI 1
do not have this ad in them. The hint book says it should be there,
but I've been over it and over it, and could not find it. I had to resort
to looking at a solution file from an ftp site to find out what the
correct value was.

This really annoys me... I hoped those guys would do a better job when
repackaging the games.
